RECEPTACLE CIRCUIT BREAKER
Model 3W735B has only one receptacle
circuit breaker. All other models have four,
except Model 3WY47 which has six. The
circuit breakers protect the receptacles and
alternator. Overloading generator will trip
circuit breaker. A short circuit in item
being powered will also trip breaker. If this
occurs, unplug electrical load from
receptacle. Let circuit breaker cool down.
Push circuit breaker button to reset.
Generator Features
(Continued)
Electric motors need higher starting
current. They require up to 3 to 6-times
their rated full-load wattage to start. The
starting current needed may be too high.
This can cause nuisance circuit breaker
tripping. To help prevent this, start electric
motors first. Connect additional items to
generator after starting motors. If this
continues to happen, reduce the total
generator load.
NOTE: High ambient temperatures will
cause nuisance tripping.
